Here are some of his stunning creations, along with tidbits about the artist and quotes from him about his artwork. Enjoy!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Monarch of Love" src="http://www.newdawncollections.com/10-02-MonachofLove.jpg" style="width: 711px; height: 533px;" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Monarch Of Love</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Rassouli has a unique way of reflecting spiritual experience by expressing images from his subconscious onto canvas. He often stimulates creativity by meditating at dawn watching the sunrise in a natural setting, or by envisioning a mystical journey through a night sky. His style does not focus on what is literally seen by the artist, but by surrendering conceptually to what is felt on a deeper level. </span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 674px; height: 674px;" src="http://www.newdawncollections.com/02-01-FreeFlight.jpg" alt="Free Flight" align="Center" border="0" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Free Flight</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="p2"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;" ></span></span><span style="font-family:verdana;">Rassouli's painting technique is known as Fusionart, a style that he has created and registered and is presently teaching to many artists in Southern California. The main theme of Fusionart is cosmic unity. The painting style is derived from mysticism, near-eastern spirituality, and a foundation in European painting technology.</span><br /></div><br /><img style="width: 641px; height: 641px;" src="http://www.newdawncollections.com/03-14-JoyVibrations.jpg" alt="Joy Vibrations" align="Center" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Joy Vibrations</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left; font-family: verdana;">Recognized as "the best student artist in Iran" at the age of fifteen, Rassouli was awarded a government grant to study painting in Europe. He migrated to the United States in 1963, where he studied painting and architecture at the University of New Mexico, and was honored with the Leadership Award from the Institute of International Education.<br /></div><br /><img style="width: 639px; height: 1248px;" src="http://www.newdawncollections.com/03-02-KissofDawn.jpg" alt="Kiss of Dawn" align="Center" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Kiss Of Dawn</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">“What I portray in my paintings of women is what I sense to be feminine power. Far more than simply an outer beauty to enjoy, I seek to expose the sensitivity and radiance that glows from within the feminine essence. Women have the capacity to be agents of peace and reconciliation, and are willing to explore innovative creative solutions to our human conflicts and global earthly challenges."<br /><br /></div><img src="http://www.newdawncollections.com/03-05-Embrace.jpg" alt="Embrace" align="Center" border="0" height="815" width="600" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Embrace</span><br /><br /><span class="p2"><span style="letter-spacing: 0pt;font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;" ></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left; font-family: verdana;">"Creation is the product of synchronizing our energy with the universe.
